The life of Madame C.J Walker is a one of its kind ‘rags to riches’ story, which has been largely unsung. From merely being a slave at a plantation like many other people belonging to the African American community, the determined woman strived hard to overcome her miseries. Walker took up the job of a cleaner to earn enough money to buy herself a meal and then moved on to become a sales person. After learning the tricks of the trade, this woman ventured into entrepreneurship as she also felt that there is a need to create a product which looks into the problem of hair care. Walker even motivated many other women to become entrepreneurs and trained them in the art of selling, which was an important aspect of any successful business. The Afro-American woman even paved way for conventions to create a wave of entrepreneurship in the nation. Madame, thus, went on to become the first richest woman of her race in the whole of United States of America. However, she even donated a good amount of her fortune at the time of her death for the cause of the needy. Explore this biography to learn more about the life and achievements of Madame C.J Walker
